US-Israeli Strikes Destroy Jewish Synagogue in Iran - News From Antiwar.com
Iranian media said the strike destroyed the Rafi'-Nia synagogue, while officials reported at least 15 deaths in attacks across the country.
- On Tuesday, a US-Israeli strike damaged the Rafi Niya Synagogue in central Tehran near Palestine Square, according to Iranian state and semi-official reports, with the site located in an area that has seen repeated strikes.
- The synagogue strike occurred during a wider overnight US-Israeli offensive that killed at least 15 people across Iran, with six deaths reported in Pardis east of Tehran and nine in Shahriar to the west.
- Footage from the scene showed civil defense workers clearing rubble with Hebrew-language religious texts scattered among debris, while Rabbi David Sasani of the Tehran Beit Din was seen evaluating the damage and Torah scrolls remained buried underneath.
- Homayoun Sameh, a Jewish representative in the Majles, described the site as an "ancient and holy" synagogue attacked during Passover, while the community condemned the "brutal" assault and declared support for the Islamic Republic of Iran.
- Neither Israeli nor US officials have publicly commented on the specific claims regarding the synagogue, while Iranian officials continue to frame the broader conflict as one between the Islamic Republic and the "Zionist regime" rather than with Jews as a people.
